Water Filtration Services in Rockville

On the surface, your water may look crystal clear. But appearance alone can’t tell you everything about its quality. Minerals, sediment, disinfectants, metals, microorganisms, and other substances may be present depending on the source of the water and the plumbing supplying your property.

As part of our plumbing services, Vito Services provides water filtration in Rockville, MD, including water testing and installation of whole-home and point-of-use filtration equipment. If you aren’t sure what’s affecting your water, testing can provide useful information before you choose a treatment system. This is particularly important for properties supplied by private wells, where the property owner is responsible for monitoring water quality.

Vito Services has served customers throughout the DMV, including DC, Maryland, and Virginia, since 1934.

What Chemicals Or Contaminants Could Be In My Home’s Water?

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, drinking water contaminants can generally be grouped into several categories. The specific substances present in a home’s water depend on factors such as the water source, local conditions, treatment processes, and plumbing system.

• Physical Contaminants. These primarily affect the physical appearance or other properties of water and can include sediment or suspended material.

• Chemical Contaminants. These can include naturally occurring substances as well as compounds associated with treatment processes, agriculture, industry, or household activities.

• Biological Contaminants. Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and parasites are examples of microorganisms that may contaminate water.

• Radiological Contaminants. Certain radioactive elements, including forms of uranium and radium, can occur naturally in some water sources.

Municipal water systems treat drinking water according to applicable standards. Disinfectants such as chlorine or chloramine may be used during treatment to control microorganisms. Some homeowners choose filtration because they want to reduce particular substances, tastes, or odors that remain in treated water.

How Can I Remove Contaminants From My Water Supply?

There isn’t one filtration system that removes every possible substance. The right equipment depends on what’s actually in the water and what you want to address.

Vito Services sells and installs whole-home water filtration systems, including carbon filtration and anti-scale equipment. We can also install point-of-use treatment for applicable drinking water needs.

Before choosing a water filter, testing can help identify relevant water-quality conditions and reduce guesswork. After evaluating the water, we’ll discuss the findings and available treatment options.

Reverse Osmosis Filters

Reverse osmosis systems use a semipermeable membrane as part of a multi-stage treatment process. Depending on the system and contaminants involved, reverse osmosis can reduce a range of dissolved substances in drinking water. These systems are commonly installed at a specific point of use, such as a kitchen sink.

Whole-House Carbon Water Filters

Carbon filtration can reduce certain tastes, odors, chlorine, and some organic compounds, depending on the filter media and system specifications. A whole-house configuration treats water as it enters the home’s plumbing system rather than filtering water at a single faucet.

Chlorine Pumps

For applicable private water systems, chemical feed equipment may be used as part of a water treatment process. The need for disinfection equipment and its proper configuration should be based on water testing and the conditions being addressed.

Anti-Scale Systems

Scale-control equipment is designed to address mineral scale formation within applicable plumbing systems and water-using equipment. It is important to distinguish scale control from filtration or conventional water softening because these treatment methods address different water-quality concerns.

Water Filtration Taken To The Max

The Max Flow provides another filtration option for homeowners who want treated drinking water without relying on bottled water. This high-flow, high-capacity filter connects at the faucet without requiring an additional opening to be cut into the countertop or sink.

According to the product specifications, Max Flow is designed to reduce substances including chlorine, chloramine, lead, VOCs, and certain PFAS. Actual contaminant reduction depends on the specific filter certification, operating conditions, and replacement schedule, so we’ll help you understand the specifications of the equipment being considered.

Whole-Home vs. Point-Of-Use Water Filtration

The location of the filtration equipment matters. Whole-home systems treat water before it is distributed to fixtures throughout the property. This approach may be appropriate when a water-quality concern affects water used throughout the home.

Point-of-use filtration treats water at a specific fixture, usually where drinking and cooking water is needed. Reverse osmosis and faucet-connected filtration are common examples.

Testing your water and identifying your goals can help determine which approach makes sense instead of installing equipment that doesn’t address the condition you’re concerned about.
